Another day had past. It's exactly 21 days (3 weeks) to the horror! It is like crossing the river to the other side with crocodiles in the river; Such a huge hurdle, with hindrance at the middle [I meant English].
Can't students just skip O levels? =\ There is an upsurge in mental cases whereby students were sent to Mental Hospital due to stress in school (>.<)" Even though those are minority, there's a need to take care of the increase.
JH once told me that her Sec1 brother is learning Sec 2/3NA stuffs. I was stunned 'wth?' The education standard is super high now. Our batch may be at disadvantage but it is alot easier to clear O level. They are learning more and tougher stuffs than us! Hurhur, it's tough for them. Luckily I'm the last batch for the old syllabus. It is A L0T easier! I shall explain why...
For the new syllabus, in order to clear Normal Academic, they have to get at least a B3 for English, and less than 19 points for all subjects. While my batch is to get less than 10 points for 3 subjects[Any subject, need not be ENGLISH] and we'll be promoted. A big change in the system right??? Students nowadays are getting smart and even stress.
Besides harder to clear N level, they are learning those Physical Geography [river,valleys, etc] While my batch is about Human Geography [plantation, tourism, etc] It's definitely EASIER. Part of the question(s) require us to use, is common sense to answer. Phew. Not much about memorisation. Physical Geo got more!
Other than getting a B3 for N Level and studying Physical Geography, They are also studying about terrorist in Social Studies. SEE?! So hard. Ours is just about Singapore's economy, some ASEAN and UN stuffs. Sweat!!! PLUS, they have harder math paper (>.<)"
These are the reasons which motivates me to work harder. Haha. I don't want to get retained and study all those tough subjects, which actually meant to be easy.
A lot of teacher say that the old syllabus is easier... Haha. Good luck juniors! And JIAYOU CLASSMATES!!! =D Really glad to be born in year 1991 [lucky stars]... haha!
